I use my truck to make money! Why would you have a truck if you don't need it and use it to haul stuff everyday! I'd rather have a 4 wheel drive car that goes 150 MPH! I use this tailgate protector as a work table. To set up my miter saw, to work on, to cut on, to assemble on, to eat lunch on. Plastic is too slippery and not perfectly flat. THIS STAINLESS TAILGATE PROTECTOR WORKS GREAT! Get one!
